Ji Changye used his Radiant Moon Level soul servant to intimidate the disciples from various sects. For a moment, no one dared to step forward.

Ji Changye smiled, feeling he had achieved his goal.

Of course, Ji Changye put so much effort because he was the one nominally in charge of this Demon Sky Palace sword fighting competition.

As an unranked registered disciple, he naturally had to perform well to leave a good impression.

Sure enough, within the Demon Sky Palace team, Zhou Yun nodded slightly: “Not bad.”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll leave the stage to the experts from all sects.” Ji Changye cupped his hands toward the King Level experts from various sects and was about to retreat.

But just then, another person jumped into the arena. It was none other than He Zhengyuan, one of the Tai Shang Five Disciples!

“He Zhengyuan from the Taishang Sect. I want to see what kind of tricks you have.” He Zhengyuan said coldly.

As expected…

Ji Changye narrowed his eyes at He Zhengyuan.

Even after he summoned his Radiant Moon Level soul body, the Taishang Sect still had to send someone to probe.

Zhou Yun frowned: “Old Ge, aren’t you a bit too eager… my disciple just finished a match.”

Ge Qiu answered nonchalantly: “Zhengyuan has a close relationship with Xuanqing. He has anger in his heart and I cannot stop him.”

In the arena, He Zhengyuan stared coldly at Ji Changye, saying in a grave tone: “Since you killed Fellow Daoist Mo, it must have been you who killed my Junior Brother Xuanqing as well!”

Ji Changye cast an inconspicuous glance at the Demon Soul beside him. After a brief contemplation, he burst into laughter: “If you want to test my skills, there’s no need to make excuses. Just come at me!”

“As you wish!” He Zhengyuan’s eyes turned cold. He flipped his hand and drew a longsword, ready to strike.

“Wait.” At this moment, another voice echoed from the Demon Sky Palace’s team.

The Demon Soul stepped forward, saluted Zhou Yun, and then flew to Ji Changye’s side.

“Senior Brother, who is this person?”

“His name is Qin Lianyun, the new core disciple of the Demon Sky Palace!”

“So it’s him!”

“…”

Seeing Qin Lianyun step forward, everyone turned their attention with curiosity.

“Then I’ll leave it to you, Brother Qin.” Ji Changye understood that the Demon Soul wanted to handle it himself and retreated with a smile.

The Demon Soul looked at He Zhengyuan: “You wanted to avenge Feng Xuanqing, didn’t you? Feng Xuanqing was killed by me.”

“What? It was him who killed Feng Xuanqing!”

Upon hearing that Feng Xuanqing was killed by Ji Changye, everyone besides Zhou Yun and the elders of the Demon Sky Palace showed surprise.

Even many disciples of the Demon Sky Palace!

“You killed Junior Brother Xuanqing?” He Zhengyuan’s expression darkened. “In that case, don’t blame me for being rude!”

The Demon Soul conjured a Demon Saber and smiled: “Come!” Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He Zhengyuan’s eyes focused, and he swiftly swung his longsword.

“Slash!”

A sword slash cut down, emitting a sharp green Sword Qi, tearing through the air. This strength was almost comparable to Fang Shenyi’s Sword Intent-empowered Sword Qi!

Among the Tai Shang Five Disciples, He Zhengyuan specialized in the Upper Pure Sword Technique, one of the five great techniques!

The Demon Soul did not evade. He flipped his hand, producing a black flame saber light with the Demon Saber.

When the Sword Qi and saber light clashed, they simultaneously dissipated within moments.

“Oh, to think you could compete with He Zhengyuan’s Upper Pure Sword Qi? It seems Qin Lianyun’s Divine Fire ranks high, greatly enhancing the fire element…”

With the first clash yielding no result, He Zhengyuan’s Clear Energy spread out, while fierce flames ignited around the Demon Soul. Both leaped into action, engaging in combat!

Instantly, the arena was filled with the sound of clashing weapons and exploding Star Power like a torrential downpour!

“How fast!”

Everyone watched the battlefield intently, but even with their full focus, most sect disciples could not catch sight of the two combatants. Only a few top experts could discern their movements!

In a short moment, the two had exchanged over a hundred moves.

Waves of green Sword Qi and black flame saber light shot out in all directions, the shockwaves alone causing the disciples from various sects to feel their hearts race!

From the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect side, Sikong Liu said: “The Upper Pure Sword Technique is versatile, capable of both close and long-range attacks.

More importantly, the Upper Pure Sword Technique steadily increases the practitioner’s attack speed during combat.

At its peak, it can be even faster than my Independent Sword lineage’s Extreme Sword Technique!

At this rate, I’m afraid the Demon Sky Palace’s Qin Lianyun won’t last long…”

Fang Shenyi nodded slightly, his eyes reflecting a trace of white Sword Intent, which suddenly flashed.

“It’s coming, Double Swords!”

As soon as Fang Shenyi spoke, He Zhengyuan drew another purple longsword.

Instantly, his sword speed surged, and with the Double Swords, the Sword Qi erupted like the Milky Way in the Nine Heavens.

Among the five great techniques of the Tai Shang Sect, the Upper Pure Sword Technique’s Double Sword Flow was the strongest dual-sword technique in the Southern Continent, unmatched in speed.

Moreover, the original Legendary Grade Upper Pure Sword Technique could achieve the unimaginable Four Swords Flow!

It was said that this technique was created to wield four Divine Swords simultaneously.

With He Zhengyuan’s attack speed soaring, Qin Lianyun also conjured a Vermilion Long Saber.

The nearby “Ten Thousand Swords” Zhong Xiu frowned slightly: “Even if he can conjure it, he will struggle to match He Zhengyuan’s sword speed.”

Fang Shenyi watched the battlefield intently, and at that moment, the white Sword Intent in his eyes flickered as if sensing something.

The next moment, a faint golden light appeared around Qin Lianyun. Then, a peculiar wave emanated…

Fang Shenyi’s pupils contracted: “Hmm? What is this…”

“Ch… Chchch!”

Suddenly, the sound of knives and swords piercing flesh resounded, accompanied by splattering blood.

“Boom!”

With a blast of white air waves, a figure was blasted from the sky, crashing into the ground and creating a huge pit!

“Senior Brother He?!”

The people from the Taishang Sect were surprised to see that the one sent crashing into the ground was He Zhengyuan!

In the sky, the young man in a black robe held a vermilion pair of sabers, black flames surging from the blades, and golden wind swirling around him, his eyes shining!

“Senior Brother Qin!”

The disciples of the Demon Sky Palace cheered in excitement!

The Demon Soul dispersed the longsword in his left hand, adopting a stance to draw his blade. His eyes were cold as he looked down.

“Evil Fire Flash!”

The black flames on his saber flared up. The Demon Soul suddenly shot downward, aiming at the fallen He Zhengyuan!

“Not good!”

He Zhengyuan’s pupils contracted as he tried to react.

“Boom!”

The longsword slashed down, the terrifying Undead Evil Fire spreading in all directions with unmatched ferocity!

But at that moment, a gentle breeze blew, extinguishing all the Evil Fire in the arena in an instant.

Ge Qiu stood beside He Zhengyuan, holding the Demon Soul’s descending saber with a single finger!

“Boy, you want a killing blow?” Ge Qiu’s eyes were cold. He applied a little force with his finger.

The Demon Soul’s pupils contracted. He felt an unimaginable force transmitted through the saber, letting out a grunt as he was sent flying!

At that moment, a soft black cloud caught the Demon Soul mid-air.

“Old Ge, you, a King Wang of the Taishang Sect, actually moved against a junior. Isn’t that somewhat disgraceful?” Zhou Yun walked to the front of the Demon Soul and spoke.

Ge Qiu’s expression was cold: “Moved against? I only wanted to give him a lesson. It was just a spar, yet he aimed to kill!”

Zhou Yun smiled: “How can it be called a killing blow? The techniques of your Supreme Dao are mysterious. Who knows what other tricks you have up your sleeve? My disciple only gave his all.

Besides, with you in the arena, could anything happen?”

Ge Qiu looked grim, not expecting He Zhengyuan to force him to act.

“However, that golden Divine Wind seems to be…”

Ge Qiu’s eyes narrowed at the Demon Soul.

Zhou Yun turned to the Demon Soul: “Are you alright?”

The Demon Soul replied respectfully: “Thank you for your concern, King Wang. I’m fine, just got blown away.”

Zhou Yun smiled: “No matter how thick-skinned Ge Qiu is, he wouldn’t really harm a junior. Otherwise, the Taishang Sect would lose all face!”

Zhou Yun scrutinized the Demon Soul, increasingly satisfied with this new core disciple.

Strong and ruthless!

Although the Divine Wind was exposed, it significantly boosted the Demon Sky Palace’s prestige and humiliated Ge Qiu and the Taishang Sect. Zhou Yun felt quite pleased.

Zhou Yun patted the Demon Soul’s shoulder and smiled: “Qin Lianyun, you did well!”

All the disciples of the Demon Sky Palace cast envious and jealous glances, including Chou Wuliang and Ji Changye.

Receiving praise from King Wang was a great honor!

The Demon Soul replied respectfully: “It is what I should do.”

Zhou Yun led the Demon Soul back to the group.

“Impressive.” When the Demon Soul approached, Chou Wuliang nodded approvingly.

Ji Changye also smiled: “As expected of Brother Qin, that makes two of the Tai Shang Five Disciples defeated by you.”

The Demon Soul grinned: “Their strength was mediocre.”

In the Demon Sky Palace, humility led to neglect. Confidence and arrogance earned respect.

To the Demon Soul, He Zhengyuan’s swordsmanship was excellent but still inferior to Feng Xuanqing. His strength was on the same level as Fang Yang.

If he could kill Fang Yang before, what more now with the Returning Ruins Divine Wind?

Compete in speed with the Returning Ruins Divine Wind?

Courting death!

As the Demon Soul stepped down, the disciples discussed his Divine Wind fervently.

Meanwhile, Zhang Chunyi looked at the returning He Zhengyuan with concern: “Junior Brother He, are you alright?”

He Zhengyuan sighed: “Thank you, Senior Brother, for your concern. It’s just external injuries. I lost face.”

Zhang Chunyi said: “No need to blame yourself, Junior Brother. That person has a powerful Divine Wind that greatly accelerates him. You were just countered.”

As he spoke, Zhang Chunyi squinted at the distant Demon Soul.

“Elder Dongfang said Junior Brother Xuanqing went down the mountain searching for the Divine Wind. It seems he was indeed killed by that person who took the Divine Wind!”

Mu Kexian remained silent, gazing at the Demon Soul with calm eyes, unlike Zhang Chunyi’s resentment.

Mu Kexian knew she should share Zhang Chunyi’s anger, but she couldn’t muster such emotions.

Any emerging anger was swiftly dissolved by the Supreme Forget Emotion Technique.

As for Jiang Heng, he kept his expression neutral.

Had Feng Xuanqing not been killed, the Heavenly Mountain Secret Realm slot would never have been his…

After this battle, the Taishang Sect made no further moves.

Subsequently, some True Disciples from the seven major sects showcased their strengths.

Though they had ulterior motives, Ge Qiu was correct.

For the sect disciples, opportunities like this were rare.

Sparring with elites from other sects enhanced their reputation and allowed them to demonstrate their abilities before King Level experts and Elder Zhuoyang…

Given the benefits, the participants were quite enthusiastic.

However, to King Level experts, such battles were rather dull.

While two disciples from the True Yang Sect and Qiankun Sect fought intensely,

suddenly, in the valley inside Heavenly Mountain, a swirl of silver light began to rotate.

Endless Star Power converged into the silver light, and within seconds, a Secret Realm entrance several meters in diameter formed.

All ten King Level experts and numerous disciples were excited.

“The Heavenly Mountain Secret Realm… has opened!”
